It is estimated that before he arrival of Europeans there were around 1,000 different tribes living in the area that later became Brazil, speaking almost as many languages. Today there are only around 200 tribes, but there are still certain remote areas where some unknown tribes may be living without having met a white person. Many of the names of the early tribes are unknown.

Just a few of the Brazilian native American groups are:

Guarani

Yanomami

Akuntsu

Kanoê

Awá

Maku

Xavante

Xiriana

Wayampi

Tucano

Kayapo

Mapidian

Cocama

Apalai

Pisabo

Paumari

Yaruma

Warekena

Xokleng

Tembe

Matis

Macushi
